Development, Evaluation, and Application of Chemistry Threshold Learning Outcomes – A Curriculum Framework for Tertiary Chemistry in Australia

Although there is no set chemistry curriculum for higher education institutions, the Chemistry Threshold Learning Outcomes (CTLOs) represent a shared understanding that was developed through extensive consultation with the tertiary chemistry community. The CTLOs have been implemented through the RACI accreditation process and in general function as intended. The term threshold is intended to represent a lower limit; institutions can and do go beyond the threshold.
